2010 Ford Mustang Exterior Gallery

Ford is showing off the 2010 Mustang today with a whole bunch of pix, inside and out. The new Mustang has a thoroughly different look about it compared to the “original’ 05-09 cars, being that those cars were the first all new Mustangs in a couple decades. It’s debuting at this week’s L.A. show in coupe, convertible, V6, and V8 models. Take a look at our gallery and see what you think of the new look.

The face-lift is supposed to give the Mustang a more modern look, stepping away slightly from the overtly retro design of the 05 pony car. The refresh couldn’t come any sooner now that the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger are back on the market. Given the Mustang’s strong following and that it never stopped production like its competitors, expect sales to remain steady in the face of new competition.

Just about every body panel has been changed, except for the roof. The front has a more aggressive, squintier look that is inspired by the Giugiaro concept and the GT500. The hood seems to be a more production friendly of the Shelby CS6 hood and is much more interesting than the old stock hood. The biggest change though is over the rear wheels. A slight shoulder curves up and out giving the car a much more hunkered-down stance. The rear fascia is redone with LED lighting in a more angled manner. Gone are the fender flares of the old model. Mechanically, the car is mostly the identical.
